If by "our country" you refer to germany (or any of the german speaking countries) then I think thats easy to explain. We have a very different marketing and advertising culture. What is obviously perfectly normal and "working" in the US, sounds extremely sleazy, to the point of beeing flat out...

I think that you messed up "browsers" with "search engines". I also think, that penguin works exactly as intended. Google wants to get rid of "spammy" results. The problem is, that due to the high black-hat competition of recent years, many niches do not contain non-blackhat sites. Even...

I rank better than ever before. Ranking and visitor-count go up up up. It feels like my ship has finally come.

To those who asked about how pictures like this are done: Actually not too complicated. You need: 1) Decent digital camera with a large tele-objective, 2) Electronic pano-head - a special mount for the camera which moves and triggers it (or a huuge lot of patience) 3) Stitching software able...

Should still work (not absoultely shure though): At least some time ago it was possible to buy walmart gift-credit-cards from their online-store using paypal.

No one told you to stop using google services. Actually its the other way around. The lesson to be learned is that you can not stop google from gathering information about user behavior on your website, by simple tricks like not using WMT or analytics. As there is no easy "opt-out"...

The tracking methods mentioned are well documented and have been reported on by major news outlets millions of times. Just try your search engine of choice. You can also just look up the TOS of the mentioned products. They are not illegal under European laws, because the users allowed them...

Here is a little suggestion from the herbal-medicine section: If you want your body to shed a lot of water (especially water which was stored in fatty tissue) drink tea from birch-leaves. Preferably fresh leaves directly from the tree. About a handful in a litre of water. You will probably...

Megavideo? Welcome back. What is the backside of the moon like? Pro-Tip: Try your link. :cool:

Lesson learned, and right in time, as I was going to publish some of my secrets. I will not post my personal methods publically, if this forum refuses to get rid of people endorsing major crimes or the violation of basic human rights. The excuses used are just that. This is a forum. Its easy...

One of the safest methods for anonymous payment are Paysafe Cards. They can be purchased for cash anonymously in many european countries. Fuel stations, electronic stores etc. all have them and sell surprising quantities (which also adds to the security). There are several german...

I use EasyPeasy on my netbook, Cyanogen-Mod on my phone, Linux-Mint on my heavy-duty workstation and Debian on my servers. Its very sad that I regularly have to switch to windows 7 on the workstation, because of programs like after-effects. Hope to get a second unit with MacOS for that soon...

I would vote for the touchpad, provided you find someone who can install android (cyanogenmod) on it for you. Otherwise the kindle. The touchpad offers a bigger screen and (if set up with android) more general versatility. The kindles modified amazon-android is more restrictive...

In general: Balance them with organic positive reviews (give satisfied customers a reason to write about their experience and lead them to g-places). I would not spend much effort on the negatives. If they are badly made ("spammy"), the large majority of visitors will ignore them anyhow...

Yes, if speed is the cause they should. Like mine got better because of speed enhancement. Happened pretty fast too. BTW, depending on how slow your site is, you can also loose quite a lot of visitors due to people leaving before the page is loaded. Ist amazing how many people drop out after...
